New Vehicle won’t start

Totaled my last car and broke my back in the accident. I found this and fell in love with it until the engine stopped working and the car wouldn’t start. It’s only 3 months old no reason to not start.

Syed, Nice to hear from you. As to the Venue, there are multiple problems with it. Nothing mechanical, that part is fine as is the physical design except for the driver seat adjustment. Why on earth does it push the seat forward when you are trying to raise it? I am tall and have long legs, but shorter in the torso. So, trying to get the seat as far back as possible and have it higher is an impossibility. Thus, I have to drive with some discomfort. Because Koreans are generally smaller than us, I guess they figure one size fits all. The privacy flap over the rear compartment is not well designed. But the digital crap is ridiculous. We just got a recall notice on this. Why on earth was something like this created and installed? What is wrong with a simple spring? Our daughter has a 2022 Elantra, bought from your dealership. It got recalled for the same thing plus a windshield mount. The windshield mount took over three weeks to get it fixed and she was very unhappy as the rental car she was given while her car was in the shop was a junker. Some of the digital equipment that is poor on our Venue is the GPS system, the media player - can you believe you cannot download a music file into the unit because it has no hard drive? So, you have to leave a thumb drive in the USB slot to play your music. Our 2018 Elantra had a hard drive to which you could download your favorite music. Then the "nature sounds" cannot be turned off. We finally figured out that if you turn the volume off that does not affect the rest of the channels. The front safety alarm and auto braking feature are dangerous. If you are following a vehicle and it slows to make a right turn and you are far away enough to judge that you can pass when it is clear without braking, the system sounds an alarm and slams on the brakes. Recently, this happened unexpectedly as we had ample distance, and my wife was hurt by being slammed into the seat belt which did not give and the car behind us also had to slam on its brakes to avoid hitting us. This thing is a menace. THEN, to disable it you have to do this manually every time you start the vehicle! It should be able to be permanently disabled if one wishes. The owner's manual is useless as well. It does not address most of the things we wish to deal with. Early on, we were traveling on the freeway in traffic and a beeping alarm came on. Looking away from the road (dangerous) I finally saw an icon on the display of a coffee cup and the reminder that I should take a "break." Well, even after we did take a break at a stop on the way to California, this thing kept appearing every half hour or so. I was finally able to disable it. The owner's manual did have this information. But having this go on while you are traveling at 70 miles per hour in freeway traffic is a menace. Then, if you leave the vehicle running to get out for a second to get your mail or something, it screams at you. So, either you have to leave your keys in the car, or just endure the noise. There are actually many more of these kinds of irritants and we will never buy another Hyundai again. What a nightmare. I am sure that Hyundai is not interested in our opinion. The constant effort to create some sort of "safety" features has become do ridiculous that I may look into older model used vehicles, or some other manufacturer that allows me to permanently disable these features or hopefully not have them at all. My brother-in-law bought a Genesis and told me he was shocked to find he couldn't change lanes easily or really drive his car where he wanted to go until those features were disabled. Good Lord! So, there is a short summary of the wonderful experience our whole family is having with the Hyundais. Not only that, all these "safety features" are not protecting people at all and are causing drivers to be less alert. Statistics prove that. Bob Stewart

car was sold with recall

While the look, feel and gas mileage are great on this vehicle, I do not feel safe driving it and especially do not feel safe putting my children in this vehicle due to the exploding seatbelt recall. The recall states that there is no fix for this problem yet. The car just sits in my driveway, I cannot sell it and I am not comfortable driving it as my family vehicle.

Hyundai

No one told me they're at high risk of theft. It's comfy, and whatnot, but I don't feel safe now that someone has tried to steal it, Hyundai Isn't doing anything to ease my mind, not taking proper measurements to make vehicles not such a high target.

Don’t Waste Your Money Or Time

Cheapest car I ever owned (My 2 Chevette’s were better made) Flimsy seat material wears out after 4 months. Had to take the car in to have the driver side seat cover replaced ALREADY!!!! And now the replacement seat cover is showing signs of wear AGAIN after 2 1/2 months!!!! No sunroof for the top of the line Limited or wireless but those two features are included with the lower model SEL! WTH? Isn’t the point of buying the top of the line to get all of the extras that the lower models have and more? But not the Venue. No insulation between the roof of the car and inside. A hard rain sounds like a deafening tin roof. Already one recall for the seatbelt. No driver side hand grip above the window. How cheap is that! And only one storage net for the back of the passenger side seat. NO MIDDLE ARM REST FOR THE BACK SEAT!!!! Really? The auto headlights go on in sunlight and don’t shut off unless you do it manually. What’s the point of auto then? Stay away from this car. You’d be better off finding an AMC Pacer or a Yugo.

Cheap and it shows!

Overall Totally NOT satisfied, You live and you learn I guess. Soon as lease is up, it's going back! Too many reasons to list, and way to much money on a lease for a small Hyundai. Cheap is not even the just of it... Hyundai needs to go back to the drawing board if you plan on selling this car here in the US.

Cost of vehicle definitely does not match quality!!

Very cheaply made for price. Cabin noise. Not a smooth ride at all. Blue tooth goes in and out. Hard time pairing. Very low to ground. Paint chips easily. Cost very high for the value of vehicle. In first year recalled for seatbelt issues. Cheap wipers.

Boring and lack of engine power

I wish I kept my Kona Ultimate rather than trading it in for the Venue. Very disappointed in my Venue. I cannot wait to get rid of this car. I am very interested in trading my Venue in for a new Subaru

Blew white smoke on highway going 60 mph , semi truck almost hit me because I lost power. Pulled over with engine light on. Turn it off and restated and regained power. It jerks at speeds under 55, they found oil in my exhaust and wanted me to pay to repair it!

Blew white smoke and lost power on the highway going 60 mpg. Jerks at speeds up to 55 mpg and cruise control doesn’t stay at speed. Dealership suggested things that I had to pay for. Took it back twice, waited 4 hours while car was parked for 3 1/2 of that time. Never got a survey from the dealership because they new I’d give them a bad review. Other clients and I were complaining about the wait time and some left without being repaid due to long waits.

Plastic on wheels

The car is almost entirely plastic, inside and out. Wear and tear is super evident, cracks easily and looks bad quickly. Car is mid-quality, poor acceleration, inside space is ok but also wears easily. Haven’t need much maintenance which is nice but overall a frustrating car.

My first brand new/modern car

This car is cute to look at but within 37 days of driving it I’ve had some problems: sound system is not that good. GPS navigation is very faulty, wrong guidance, not practical as my old garmin, so frustrating, I just use my phone. Also, I think this is a failure of their safety features but I got a slight dent on the right side, near the passanger door cause I did not see this horizontal pole at the gas station, blind spot did nothing neither forward collision assistance alarmed me of that pole. I thought buying a modern car with features like that would save me from this kind of situations :( but not this one, infortunately.

Great car overall but very minimal storage & space

I love the safety features like lane assist, the auto fog lights, the side alert for cars approaching, ect. The car play and entertainment system is ok too. Sometimes the system disconnects my phone while using maps and I have to reconnect it again and again. But my main dislikes are the very very small trunk, center console, and cup holders on the doors. The cup holders on the doors can pretty much only hold a can of soda and there’s no cup holders in the center back. It’s a very COMPACT car. It might be good for 1 person or a couple but if you are a family and have kids, especially in car seats, you might want something bigger for sure.

Bad braking noise

Nice vehicle, shitty company to deal with. There is no armrest in the vehicle making travel slightly uncomfortable, when applying brakes a strange nose can be heard coming from front driver side tire and vibration felt in floor board. Dealership inspected it and returned the car to me with issue still occurring. Finance company is a joke. All this company does is lie. Go somewhere else to buy or lease if you want to be treated with respect.

Get what you pay for

Small & cute. Great on gas but comfort is pretty bad, especially being a bigger tall person. Bumps & noise are horrible, especially at higher speeds. Overall though you get what you pay for & it's a good vehicle.

its a great car

I just want more space. I felt my sonata had more space in it than this one especially the trunk area. the features are great. I do not like the manual adjustment for the seat, that should be electric and that there is no bluelink available in the car and it's a 2022

2022 Venue

At first I loved the car but within a few days my opinion on that changed. The vehicle would pull to the left or right side while I’m driving which can cause me to crash. My iPhone never wants to connect to the apple car play or at times the screen on the car will go black while I’m using the GPS. My sunroof windows never want to open.

Maybe they forgot women exist and drive?

There is NO adjustment possible on the shoulder anchor of the seat belt, so if you're short, it will fit high across your neck and you'll need to purchase accessories like a booster seat and annoying seat belt clips to lower it into place, things I never needed in other vehicles (I'm 5' 3"). The curve of the seat is designed to hug narrow hips, and you're going to be uncomfortable if you are an average size woman. A car designed for someone tall with narrow hips, no adjustments to be made... it's like they did not consider women at all. Moving up from a cheaper vehicle, the Hyundai Accent, I expected the Venue to feel nicer inside, but it's less comfortable and has not impressed me beyond the features all cars have now (pairing your phone, large screen, etc.). There is no interior dome light in the middle of the roof like you'd expect; if you need light, you'll find it hidden underneath each front seat visor. Small thing, but it's weird and not where I would like it. Overall, I wish I'd test driven some other cars before choosing this one.

It is a good car for a big city , next time I will be more required. Also this car very nice for single people without kids, sound system is so good, easy navigation and road control, not enough room for tall persons ?

Has starting issue

I haven’t even owned the car for three months and it’s having an issue starting. It may start on the first time or it may start the 5th time. Car has now been in the dealership’s shop over a week. No information on when I will get my car back or what’s even wrong with it. Overall great car, just wish there wasn’t any issues before the cars first oil change.

Cute Car, major style Points,

I love the car's style. It is fun to drive and fun to park. The key fob and Push to start features, with proximity key are awesome. It is a cute car for someone who needs a basic vehicle with some mild upgrades. Outside of that though, Storage and fuel economy is trash. I like it enough to keep it for now. But I will almost for sure trade it in and get something more efficient with more storage.
